A Few Days Left!


There are only a few days left to add your holiday 
cards to our challenge (WINTER HOLIDAYS), but more importantly, it's only a few days until Christmas!! I hope you're spending time with family and friends and making the most
of this special time. 

We are here in China for the holidays (sadly we don't get to go home for Christmas this year) so I have been enjoying a little me time and I've had a chance to make a few things... 
Here are a couple of cards with a little sass that I made for this month's challenge:



I just wanted to say on behalf of all of us angels and devils:

December Challenge: Winter Holidays

[image source]
With so many holidays fast-approaching (Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, New Years, and all of those winter birthdays) we are especially busy this time of year trying to keep up with everything. Because of all of these holidays we thought we would keep this month's challenge simple:

Create a winter holiday card! 

I know that in addition to Christmas I have my son's birthday on the 16th as well as my god-son's on the 26th, so hey, this challenge doesn't have to be Christmas... BUT, we do challenge you to maybe go a little naughty with a card or two. Just for laughs!! lol..

Here's what the team has to share:

WINNERS! FINALLY!!

Winners for Challenge #9
So I've fallen behind naming our winners but please don't think it's because we don't love your submissions. We all talk about your fun creations behind-the-scenes and this month we have some of our favourites to share with you all!!


First, our favourite NICE creation:


Scrap by Nini made this lovely tag that every team member agreed was a hit.
I just love all of the work she put into the background - all those lovely
layers created a beautiful little tag!


And next, our NAUGHTY winner:
Jessi Fogan created this naughty little kitty card with tonnes of bling
and sparkle. I love the bokeh paper, it's a perfect choice for this image!

So congrats you guys!! Grab a badge if you guys want to
share your honour with the world!

Postponing!!

We hate to do this, but we're going to postpone our challenge for a couple of days to allow the new girls to get oriented and get their cards made.

I would like to thank you guys for participating in our little challenge and for those of you who applied for our DT - THANK YOU! Hopefully our challenge will grow and it will necessitate a bigger team in the future, but for now we've added only a few people. 

Come back November 5th for our next challenge. 
We think you're gonna love it!!

October Challenge: Give Thanks (And a DT Call!!)


So first off, sorry for the unexplained month's hiatus. With moving to China and all of the unexpectedness that came along with it (SUPER SUPER slow internet) and you know, getting used to life in China, I dropped a couple of balls, this being one. BUT I am excited to be back and get naughty again!! Who's with me?

As mentioned in the title I would love to have a couple more crafters join our modge-podge family and make 1-2 Naughty or Nice samples a month with our theme. It's just that easy! I'm looking for 5-6 people. To apply, please link your project with this month's theme and add "DT app" to your name in the linky tool.
Eg. Tobi Crawford DT app

On with our challenge. We are coming up to Thanksgiving in Canada first, then the US, so let's make some cards with the "Giving Thanks" theme. This will certainly be a challenge for those of you wanting to be Naughty!!

Here are the samples for this challenge.

Tobi Crawford

For my "nice" card, I went traditional:


And for my "naughty" card I just went with a little sass... lol

Naughty or Nice Challenge #7 : Anything Goes!


For this month's challenge we thought we'd make it easy on you and get back to the basics of this challenge: are you Naughty or Nice???!!! With one little twist: can you make it EXTRA naughty or SUPER nice??? Let's go above, and beyond here folks and show 'em what we're made of!! 

But before we share this month's cards, let's talk about winners!! (July's winners will be announced on the next post) 
June's winners (and Tobi has a stash of The Twinery Twine to share with you guys!!) are: 

Naughtiest of the naughty: 

Jessie Fogan!! SO hillarious!! Congrats!

The Nicest of the Nice: 

May Park! 
I just love her clean and simple design that was a really sweet tribute to the dads!! 

Please email me: jazzytobi@gmail.com with your addresses! 

And grab a badge while you're at it! 

  



And on with this month's inspiration:
Can you guess who's naughty or nice? 







So what do we mean by Naughty or Nice? Well, take a look at your sentiment stamps - are there any in your collection that are kind of "off-color" or a little bit racy? Pair them with a seemingly innocent image and BAM! You've succeeded in being naughty. But for those of you who cannot find a devilish stamp that fits the bill, no worries - you could be nice and post a card with our theme and you will be fulfilling our challenge parameters too!

Naughty Or Nice Challenge: Mixed Media

If you can believe it, we are on challenge number 6 already!! Last month's challenge was a hit and we thank you for playing along - winners will be announced shortly!! 

So I was thinking about this month's challenge as I was setting up my temporary craft-space and I now have two "zones", card-making, and mixed media. I think a lot of us are spending a little more $$ on paints and sprays and gesso etc, and I thought we should have a challenge to share all of our mixed media wonders! Remember, we're looking for Naughty AND Nice cards! 


I have a Nice one for you:

Check out what our other team members did:
